Are you talking about Overseas France? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overseas_France

Overseas regions have exactly the same status as France's mainland regions.

Seems similar to Puerto Rico, Samoa and the others https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territories_of_the_United_States

    Nah, overseas France voted to stay as part of France. After we got our asses kicked in the Algeria War we pretty much let go anyone who wanted to leave as a colony.

    The thing is that for Africa special deals were made, which means that France still retains some vestiges of its former colonial power on Africa, which are abused by France at the detriment of African countries
